LINDSEY "GOOBER" GRAHAM: ANOTHER CONGRESSIONAL DOG AND PONY SHOW?

Senator Lindsey “Goober” Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation” and suggested that he is planning to subpoena the former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe and current Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to probe McCabe’s assertions that top-level officials of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation discussed using the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to possibly remove President Donald Trump from office.

This is disturbing on several levels …

(1) The Senate Judiciary Committee cannot hold anyone responsible for their actions and at the most can make a criminal referral to the politically corrupt Department of Justice.

(2) Both witnesses could refuse to appear, and it is doubtful that either man would answer substantive questions in open or closed-door sessions citing pending litigation.

(3) The Judiciary committee contains members that have been known to participate in apologizing for or covering up democrat malfeasance in the past.

(4) Three of the members have announced as candidates for their party’s nomination for the Presidency and will be prone to grandstanding. (Booker, Harris, Klobuchar).

(5) Any staff investigation might further muddy the waters and the proceedings leaked to the media by multiple members who have been known to leak in the past.

(6) The correct venue for an investigation is the DOJ and FBI after the removal of the senior leadership by the President and the newly confirmed Attorney General.

(7) If testimony is required, it should be before an impaneled Grand Jury that can issue indictments.

Bottom line…

Shut up, Goober … you can only make things worse and give the evildoers another opportunity to escape being held responsible for their actions. The active investigation should be cover the conspiracy to influence a presidential election, obstruction of justice and a cover-up of criminal wrongdoing, and the attempted coup to overthrow the President of the United States – not what was said in meetings, a book, or in the media.

We are so screwed.
